“They had planned to drill their way into the bank in the dead of the night. However, detectives got wind of the plan and spoilt their party! They stormed into the building with a thud forcing the thugs to scamper, taking cover in the ceiling like cornered rats,” DCI said in a statement.
The detectives however brought the ceiling down, exposing the five who were clung on the roof trusses of the building.
The officers managed to recover three hacksaws, one knotted twisted rope, one metal driller, five metal bars, one metal cutter scissors, and one suitcase.
